Perhaps because the 16:32 from Great Malvern is not running this week - so the extra call in the normally-express train reduces a long gap in service at Hanborough?
Ah, that makes sense. I'd noticed the 1726 calling at Hanborough but not picked up on the missing service.

I notice that the 1726 Worcester Foregate Street to London Paddington service has been stopping at Hanborough this week - at least from Tuesday to Friday. The only reason I can think of for this is the Cheltenham Festival but it does seem a very obtuse explanation for this additional stop.
